Project NYE Decorations

DESIGNED BY EMMA CONGDON

Add some stitchy style to your New Year’s Eve

celebrations with this dashing set of decorations

New Year’s

N

ot only is it a new year but

2020 marks the start of a brand

new decade, so there’s never

been a better time to stitch some

New Year’s Eve designs!

Emma’s distinctive typographic

style is the perfect match for such

a celebratory set. She’s used a

sophisticated colour palette of golden

tan and grey, plus some metallic gold

and silver to give them a suitably

festive sparkle! Created using whole

cross stitch, fractionals and backstitch,

these designs are a great way to keep

the party spirit going in your stitching,

and will add a lovely touch to your

end-of-year celebrations.

Whether you attach them to

sticks to make fun photo booth props,

combine with fabric or paper to make

decorative bunting or patch them

onto cards to send out to friends and

family to welcome 2020, these four

stylish designs will be a really fun

stitching project to see out the old

year and to have as a lovely keepsake

for the upcoming decade!

I love adding stitchy pieces to any

celebration throughout the year, and

designing a New Year’s Eve party set was so

much fun! I’ll be using these at the house

party I’m throwing to celebrate 2020.
